Re: [HATT] Tough RoboHelp Questions

Hi Klaus

You can't use variables for this. But you can certainly use Conditional
tagging. Basically, you insert two different images. Then apply
conditions to each image. When you use the build expression, you force
only one of the images to show. Both are in the document (well, the code
used to display them is) but you apply conditions to make one or the
other disappear. Quite simple really.

Who suggested that variables could be used in this manner?

Cheers... Rick :)
